VHF radio help

5-10 miles.

I can build the same radio package for less $$.

License. Yes you need one. No I don't have one. I'll leave it at that.

Well. Technically it's in the commercial bands so you need a permit to operate in that range.

What is your opinion of that radio? Ok so technically you need licensing but in most cases it's not enforced as long as you behave and don't push your luck type thing?

I can't speak for everyone else but I'm very interested in a bulk buy for something like this??

Sounds good to me. How many frequencies does it have total? How easy is the install and do you have any recommendations on mounting locations?

It will hold 128 channels. An important fact is that it's not field programmable. I can add frequencies in the beginning at your request, but after that...

Sweet! Will it get the noaa marine weather stations? I will spread the word about this. Just out of curiosity is there a price break if you reach a certain amount of orders?

That's the one I have on the way. Shipped yesterday and I should have it in hand on Monday. Trey is more of an expert on radios than me, but I'll have a review up shortly after I get it hopefully.
